Flirting or Faking? Julianne Hough Reacts to Danny Amendola’s Over-the-Top Advances!
Julianne Hough may have met her match in Danny Amendola—or at least he seems to think so! The Dancing With the Stars season 33 finale on November 26 took an unexpected turn when the former NFL player made a bold flirtatious move during the show.
After Danny and his pro partner Witney Carson performed their Barbie-themed freestyle, the duo joined Julianne onstage to receive their scores. Sitting together on a prop bed inspired by Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House from the 2023 Barbie movie, Julianne asked Danny how it felt to embody the iconic doll. His cheeky reply? “I think the real question, Julianne, is why are you in my bed?”
Witney reacted with a wide-eyed “Oh,” but Julianne kept her composure. Smiling, she quipped back, “Oh, is that an invitation?” before shifting the focus to the judges’ scores.
A Playful Finale
Despite the lighthearted banter, Danny and Witney placed fifth in the competition. The season ended with Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson taking home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, followed by Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten in second place, and Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong in third.
Danny’s Real-Life Romance Rumors
While Danny might have been playful onstage, off the dance floor, he recently sparked rumors of a romance with TikTok star Xandra Pohl. The two are just close friends, he clarified in September, adding, “I am a huge fan and supporter of her, and it is good to have a friend like her.
Julianne’s Love Life
Julianne Hough, who finalized her divorce from Brooks Laich in 2022, revealed on the November 19 episode that she’s back in the dating game. “Well, you know, I am single,” she said with a laugh, “and I’m looking for a guy anywhere I can find one.”
Although Julianne has been open about her fluid sexuality, she also mentioned that she envisions herself in a relationship with a man.
The Verdict: Was It Flirting or Just Fun?
While Danny’s flirtation added a dash of humor to the DWTS finale, Julianne’s playful response suggests she didn’t take it too seriously. Whether it’s sparks or just stage antics, fans can’t get enough of their chemistry!
